Mincoin doesn't have people who are open to sharing their educational backgrounds and their track records. Playing devils advocate, how do I know that Mincoin won't run off with any monies I invest or cancel the value of MNC I mine?
Thanks for any help!
You do realize that is a paid 'press release' right? Also, you do realize they akin MNC to a ICO which it is Not. Did you actually read this article?? Do you see they are promoting their own project which is actually an ICO itself, but they claim ICO's are bad?
LOL, maybe go back and actually read the article.

* Nodes are hardcoded in the wallet.
We have been working really hard preparing for this re-launch, working on many projects to add more value to the coin users and supporters. Below are some of the hottest updates for MinCoin.
New MinCoin Website
MinCoin is a derivative of the Litecoin code, and Litecoin really is just a clone of Bitcoin. What separates MinCoin from both of those is it takes the best of both and it combines them into one crypto-commodity/currency. Whether Bitcoin supporters want to believe it or not, Bitcoin is a commodity not a currency and as with commodities what really drives value is limited supply/creation. With MinCoin only having 10 millions total coins to ever be produced compared to 21 millions for Bitcoin, it is pretty easy to see which one is more rare. By late September 2017, 78.9% of all Bitcoins have already been distributed, but in Mincoin - our flat emission cycle leaves 61.8% of the total Mincoin still uncirculated. "To empower people with the ability to govern their finances by enabling them with a superior method of wealth storage, wealth transfer & a mobile payment solution currency not available within today's banking system & the outdated infrastructure it supports." - Mission Statement, MinCoin Dev Team Become a part of our growing community and start using MinCoin.

*Below is the original release thread/post details*
I'm sure many of you have noticed that MinCoin has been having some issues with our Difficulty re-target causing a lot of instability in MNC network hashrate, Transaction Confirmation times and overall mining profitability compared to other coins. Today we have made a change to that Difficulty re-target in an effort to help create a more stable network hashrate and to also help stabilize the 1min block/confirm target. This should also help with mincoin mining profitability from a stability standpoint. However, this does require a mandatory update to the mincoin qt client and daemon for all miners and pool operators. We request that everyone upgrade prior to block 75000 as that is the target block for the new Difficulty re-target of 60blocks to take effect. Thanks again for your continued support. I think this change will help benefit everyone involved with this project. Announcing MinCoin! If you weren't an early adopter for BitCoin or LiteCoin here is your chance to become one for the fastest coin out there! https://github.com/SandyCohen/mincoin **Latest github: https://github.com/vipah/mincoin Windows 32bit binary: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/36733610/mincoin/mincoin.zip MinCoin (MNC) - a minimalist version of Bitcoin optimized for CPU mining using scrypt as a proof of work scheme. *Only 10 million coins total will be generated *1 minute block targets for ultra fast transactions *To encourage early adoption block values for first 3 days are :- 500 MNC, 100 MNC, 50 MNC *After first 3 days block value will be 2 MNC per block until all coins mined which will take roughly 10 years *Difficulty Retarget Every 60 Blocks Mining started at 12:21 UTC April 3, 2013 and was announced on IRC and the WWW not long after. There is no premine!
Getting Started: Solo mining: Run mincoin.exe or compile the source from github. It should close down immediately after not finding a valid config file. -Go to %appdata%\mincoin directory and create a file called mincoin.conf . In this file add two lines
rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=pass
Then save the file. Now run mincoin.exe again.Run CGMINER and point it to http://127.0.0.1:9335 with the username of "user" and password of "pass" If you use CGMINER set the flag "--expiry 1" option to make sure you avoid stales, ie cgminer --scrypt -o http://127.0.0.1:9335 -u user -p pass --expiry 1

Incredible News breaking today about NiceHash Mining!
" As Bitcoin explodes higher on what now appears to be constant demand out of South Korea, there were unconfirmed (at least until recently) reports that Nice Hash, the largest crypto-mining marketplace, has been hacked with over 4,000 bitcoins worth over $50 million stolen."
Hopefully no MinCoin users were affected by this hack. With the fees for transferring bitcoin are getting very high especially if you want your bitcoin to confirm quickly, it is still better to transfer small amounts and pay more in the short-term than to transfer a large amount and having it sit somewhere where it might be at greater risk. Please be careful with where you leave/store your cryptocurrencies.

Why was Mincoin brought up in The Merkle as a Scam?
in General Mincoin Cryptocurrency Discussion
Posted
I'm not 100% sure if you follow when I say that is a "paid press release". So, I will give you an example. I could very easily write an article about MinCoin, touting it as the 'Greatest' cryptocurrency in existence. And then I could go on to say that Bitcoin and Litecoin are both inferior scam coins. Guess what, since I am 'paying' for that article to be released it would/will be released.
You get what I'm saying here?
-ST
PS.
That being said, it's pretty cool when another cryptocurrency or, [in this particular case] a cryptocurrency 'wannabe' feels threatened enough by MinCoin that they actually include us in a press release they had to pay $$ for
